International shipping to the USA has slowed dramatically and the word is this is just the beginning. This is extremely rare to see these docs without cargo.

Its a bit late for the people who's leopards are eating their face to get upset that they voted for the leopards.

Especially when everyone else told them specifically "that leopard will eat your face."

If you voted for trump, quit crying and start protesting. Its basically the last hope we have of a peaceful resolution to this problem.

    It feels natural to be angry at people who fell for fascist lies, but the fascists tell these lies because a certain percentage of people will always believe them.

    It's more effective to acknowledge that sad reality, rather than blaming the people who make up that percentage.

    It takes a lot to turn your back on a former identity, even when it's hurting you. Calling people stupid all the time makes that harder and gains us nothing.

    I don't think "stupid" is a helpful term, ever.

    However, with the things that are going on plausible deniability is getting harder and harder.

    At this point, you can't say you aren't aware of what this administration is doing.

    A lot of people don't read or watch the news, or maybe they just watch Fox News sometimes. Or maybe they get their news from social media and where there's algorithms that are designed to give us each the news we want to see.

    Everyone gets scammed sometimes. If you're spending a lot of time on the internet and watching some influencers, you're probably being scammed by some of them in some way. Maybe it's just making you think some bullshit entertainment story is more important than it really is so you'll continue watching. Or maybe you're being scammed into supporting some horrible people, you're just not aware of how horrible they are.

    What matters is if someone can admit they were wrong and work to make things right.
